40/70 Benchmark Posted yesterday at 04:18 PM Share Posted yesterday at 04:18 PM 10 hours ago, George001 said: After looking at some long range indicators more closely, I am officially putting all winter forecasts calling for a mild and below normal snow winter on BUST watch. I’m not saying this to throw shade, I went warm and below normal snow myself. I’m doing this because I’m already seeing signs that the key assumptions I made when looking at analogs are going to be wrong. The PDO is barely negative now, my forecast called for a moderate to strong -PDO. December has been a cold month, even with the late month relaxation period it will finish slightly BN temp wise. I thought December would be warm. While I did go above normal temps and below normal snowfall, I had a whole section of my outlook allocated to the rationale for why the long term Pacific cold phase is coming to an end...given my forecasting bias, I felt compelled to assume it wouldn't have a profound impact immediately...we shall see. Looks as though I nailed the late blooming La Nina that many had given up on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I feel there are more cars off the road with salt and liquid treatments vs just sand and rear wheel drive cars of the 70’s and 80’s Plenty of people complain. They’ve gone to different treatment options in some places and have stopped using salt altogether in some sensitive areas. There are also cost considerations, some alternatives are more expensive than salt and not always as effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen some nice low miles truck whipped on account of the salt. Up north in some areas they use a salt/beat juice spray which is supposedly better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWolf Posted yesterday at 04:39 PM Share Posted yesterday at 04:39 PM 45 minutes ago, DavisStraight said: I can understand if the definition is it has to snow between Christmas Eve and Christmas day but to be the first snow really narrows it down to an almost impossible level. Agreed, The first snow is ridiculous. And if the ground is white…it’s a white Xmas. As far as the NWS goes with the one inch idea, I think that’s fair for weather purposes. But if your ground is white at your house, you got a white Xmas imo. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleetussnow Posted yesterday at 04:41 PM Share Posted yesterday at 04:41 PM I probably jacked on these last 2 storms. I still have 2 on the ground right now. Probably had 3.something all told. Still snow on the bushes. Idyllic. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we had about 15-17” or so in 1995 in ORH. But we had some extra snow OTG from 12/9 which made it a glacier base whereas closer to the coast didn’t do as well in that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted yesterday at 05:45 PM Share Posted yesterday at 05:45 PM We really need something moderate or larger to pop before mid-month. At least a region wide 5”-8” in SNE to keep the weenies from bridge jumping. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's better to apply too much than too little, as the thought goes. Up until the 70s and early 80s salt and sand were not used nearly as much as they are now. Budgets have gone up and people are lot more litigation minded... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forecast still show mid to upper 40s. But then again no one's been posting anything current over the last 2 days because of the holiday. Also, there's been no maps posted for next week about the upcoming storm. So I was just curious where where You saw this? I'll be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
